Proposal: On a rampage!

Enact a new rule called Kaiju Attributes. It shall contain the following text:

Each Kaiju God shall have 3 attributes that are listed in the Powers section of this rule. New powers may be added to the rule by any Kaiju God who makes a proposal that includes the prefix “Power:” and the name of the power. If a Kaiju God does not have three attributes, they may, once per day, choose a number of powers so they they have no more than three powers. Once per day, if a Kaiju God has three poweres and is not disallowed by any reason stated in the Rules, they may replace one power they have with one power they do not have. The powers a Kaiju God has will be tracked in the Neighborhood in which they are a Patron. The purpose of these powers is when a Kaiju God takes over direct control of a Monster, the Monster gains these powers.

Create a sub rule in the rule Kaiju Attributes named Powers.

Enact a new rule called Monster Rampage. It shall contain the following text:

If two or more monsters are in the same non-outer region neighborhood, they may fight. To pick a fight, a Kaiju God announces by posted that e is taking over direct control of a Monster that is in the same non-outer regions neighborhood as another monster. The monster then gains the abilities on the Kaiju God who has taken direct control over the Monster. To begin the fight, a different Kaiju God replies to the post that they will be taking over direct control one other monster. This must continue until all monsters in a neighborhood are directly controlled by Kaiju Gods. If a fight has been picked, no actions may be taken to move a monster out of the neighborhood where the fight has been picked. If a fight has started, no actions may be taken to move a monster in or out of the neighborhood where the fight has started until the fight has been resolved. A fight may not be picked unless there are rules in place that would allow for the fight to also be resolved.

Given that this proposes absolutely no mechanics, it’s basically just asking voters whether or not Kaiju God Powers would be an interesting basis for monster combat, and I’m not particularly convinced.

"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."
